Well it's a query I've get from a lot of my users to be able to sort items in Yatse the same way they are sorted in Xbmc interface. (For those who activate the ignore sort tokens).
For advanced users that use advancedsettings.xml that would permit a unique point of modification since they modify Xbmc to suit their need and the remote automatically adjust. (Normal behavior for a remote I believe).
For other users who use default values from langdata it would also allow auto configuration while they perhaps don't really know all the default values.
And currently there's no way to get the tokens or the sortitles with the tokens removed. There's perhaps a way to get them in the correct order via a parameter in Json query but this is not suitable for me, since I do database sync (with from Frodo differential update) and can sort by name + year, so the solutions I see are :
- add a Json option to fill sorttitle with sorttokens removed (but what to do for already set sorttitles where sorttokens may apply ....), or a new field.
- add a Json query to get those sorttokens.
Or at least a way to get current Xbmc language (that may be different than remote one) and let the remote maker have a copy of default langdata and let the user add / remote tokens from that default list.
